Science on TikTok? Grimme Online prize winner explains it all!
Our knowledge of the world is not only down to the excellent research of brilliant minds but also a consequence of incredible coincidences and absurd ideas. Young science star and journalist Niklas Kolorz is addressing this highly entertaining and crazy side of science. He follows Pythagoras, Marie Curie and Albert Einstein as they more or less by chance make their world-changing discoveries, watches Isaac Newton on the way to his realisation and observes the impact of the asteroids that mean the end of the dinosaurs. The wild ride through the history of epochal discoveries leads us directly to the present and at the same time answers very big questions: where do we come from? What is the universe made of? What will happen in the future?
“His videos are like clickbait. You keep watching and soon you have seen more than one. Kolorz’ TikTok channel is more like a bag of crisps: you intend to only eat one or two, but suddenly the bag is empty. With the difference, that after enjoying his videos you have more knowledge rather than more weight.” Statement of the jury of the Grimme Online Awards
